Be the Change for Less Adoptable Cats

While my human was at BlogPaws last weekend, they handed the pet bloggers in attendance a challenge: What will you do to help less adoptable pets? They also designated the week of September 19–25 as “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week.” Petfinder has created special widgets to publicize it. Please consider adding one to your site in the next few days!

For my part in Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week, I will be interrupting my normal blogging to feature an interview with a less adoptable cat each day. So from Sunday, September 19 through Saturday, September 25, you will be meeting some very, very special kitties! And all of them need homes!

I don’t normally ask my readers to spread the word about my blog posts, but in this particular case, I do invite you to let everyone you know about these less-adoptable cats, and the shelters that are working to find them homes. My big dream would be to see at least a couple of these kitties begin the adoption process for new homes before week’s end!

Sparkle, that is such a good idea. We will be glad to point people towards your blog for the posts. We will do some posts too on our blog about the less- adoptable pets. We just think this is a super thing to do. We will start working on it right now.
Have a great day.

Thanks for letting us know, Sparkle! We are all “less adoptable” so we really appreciate this. Our mom tried to add the widget but it’s not working right now – we’ll get her to do it when she is more awake!

We will share about your blog, Sparkle, and grab a widget for ours. It’s great you are doing this. We all read on another blog about the keynote address given by Mike Arms and we were all very moved. We are thinking about more that we can do to help.

Great idea Sparkle – if we all help spread the word think how many pets can be adopted! we focus on less adoptable pets on every Friday’s post – so next week we will do it all next week. Will add a link too.

My Casper is deaf and some people would think that makes him less-adoptable. I would like to say for the record that he is an amazing cat and really no different (but for an odd meow)than my other kitties who are not considered “special needs” 🙂

Way to go Sparkle! Thanks so much for helping those kitties in need. I love that you’ll be spotlighting so many. That rules! Did you know we have a gallery of shelter and rescue-nominated pets that need a little bit of extra help? Check it out! http://www.petfinder.com/less-adoptable-pet-week-2010/gallery
